Ubiquiti has launched the $149 UniFi Express, which adds to the UXG-Lite a WiFi AP, a tiny screen, the ability to host its own UniFi controller or be adopted to an external one, and the flexibility to be used as just a router or AP, with or without wireless meshing.

Edit: Apparently it also subtracts IDS/IPS. Which I’ve never been shy about calling absolutely useless and of negative value.

CPU and RAM specs have not yet been disclosed and apparently none of the YouTube shills Influencers that Ubiquiti seeded with free devices ahead of the launch thought that was a detail worth digging into.

Edit: So without IDS/IPS, it probably limps along with the same 1GB RAM and dual-core A53 as the UXG-Lite.

Against my better judgement, I’ve ordered one for the cabin. Probably won’t find the roundtuits to actually deploy it for a while as I have no idea what I’ve done with the CK Gen2+ that I was using there previously for Protect before the UDM flaked out.
